Coordinated target assignment and intercept for unmanned air vehicles

Coordinated Target Assignment and Intercept for Unmanned Air Vehicles

This paper presents an end-to-end solution to the cooperative control problem represented by the scenario where unmanned air vehicles (UAVs) are assigned to transition through known target locations in the presence of dynamic threats. The problem is decomposed into the subproblems of: 1) cooperative target assignment; 2) coordinated UAV intercept; 3) path planning; 4) feasible trajectory genera...

Intelligent Systems Software for Unmanned Air Vehicles

This paper describes a software architecture for mission-level control of autonomous unmanned air vehicles (UAVs). The architecture provides for sensor data fusion, worldview generation, and mission planning and execution. Details about the airborne platform and a high-level description of the control architecture are provided. As an example of the architecture’s versatility a formation flight ...
